Blockchain auctions are processes for selling assets or allocating resources using a distributed ledger to manage bids, ownership, and transaction settlement. These auctions leverage smart contracts to automate rules and ensure transparency and immutability of the bidding process. Assets sold can include non-fungible tokens, digital land, or even computational resources. The blockchain records each bid and the final sale, providing an auditable history.
